I don't know anything about Kentucky except the fact they invented KFC.
Kentucky elects total scumbags. The kind of politicians that attack scientists, take bribes, cut taxes on the super-rich. Surveys show Kentucky love Trump. So I assume that Kentucky must be really bad place full of evil people.
I generally judge a place by the kind of politicians that they elect.
Wyoming is the most pro-Trump state in the US. I would never go there. I think the majority of them are very backward and violent people.
Maine elected Bernie Sanders. He is an honest man. So I really like Maine.
